Voters in several States Amend Rules, that will determine how Elections will be run in the Future, focusing on issues such as: Citizenship, Registration, Photo Identification, and Early Voting.
Arizona: Voters Rejected a Ballot Measure that stemmed from Republican Legislators’ concerns about the Security of the 2020 Election, and would have Mandated that In-Person Voters present an Unexpired Photo ID that included their Names and Addresses.
Connecticut: Voters backed a State Constitutional Amendment to allow No-Excuse Early Voting, clearing the way for the State Legislature, to further consider the step. Connecticut currently is One of just a handful of States without some form of Early, In-Person Voting before Election Day.
Michigan: Voters supported an Amendment to their Constitution, to ease Rules for Voting in a variety of ways. The Measures establish Nine days of In-Person Early Voting, require State Funding for Ballot Drop Boxes, and provide Prepaid Postage to return Absentee Ballots.
Nebraska: Voters Approved a Ballot Initiative that would require Voters to present a Valid Photo ID to cast Ballots, which is among the most Restrictive in the Country. State lawmakers will be responsible for writing Legislation to Implement the Change.
Nevada: Nevadans Voted in support of Ranked-Choice-Voting (RCV). If Voters approve the Measure again in 2024, then State Lawmakers would have to pass Legislation implementing the Change, in order for it to take effect.
The Measure would establish an Open Primary single Ballot, in which the Top Five Candidates, who received the most Votes would move on to the General Election.
In the General Election, Voters would then Rank their Preferences among the remaining Candidates. If a Candidate is the highest Ranked on a Majority of Ballots in the General Election, that Candidate is declared the Winner and the tabulation is over.
If No Candidate emerges as the outright Winner, more Rounds of Tabulation would proceed, redistributing the last Candidates Voter's Ballots with their next choice, until there is only Two Candidates left.
Ohio: Voters backed an Amendment to their Constitution that will Bar Local Governments from allowing Noncitizens to Vote in Local Elections. It also requires Citizens to be Registered Voters, 30 days ahead of Election Day, to cast a Ballot.
